Columbus is rapidly growing, with the population, job market, and growing tech scene driving strong rental demand.

If the community is well-managed and there’s good rental demand, a condo could be a solid choice.

Build - rent - refinance -repeat. in columbus ohio you are buying old houses that are 1900 or 1920 or 1940 and you are in a sellers market. on the other hand you can source land which is a buyers market and build single family homes or duplex or triplexes that will return by renting and pulling cash out on a DSCR loan and doing it again. there aren't a lot of strategies that do this. flipping is different. so many risks. but when someone has a well oiled machine it's all good and less risk.

Normally that tax is split between buyer and seller but since its an auction the buyer pays it ALL. b.

When I started, I  submitted great deals to a corporate cash buyer,  they went behind my back and secure the deals with the sellers, after the  contracts expired.

Unless you are finding off-market opportunities direct to seller, I can't imagine the deals working on BRRRR.

Here’s how it works:Population Decline or Stagnation: If the population is static or shrinking, the current housing supply meets demand, and property prices decline (in inflation-adjusted dollars).

The seller said this is in a gentrified area so there's potential to rehab this effectively and get a high payout as shown in the last comp.

I adjust pricing based on demand, like raising rates during peak season or local events, and lowering them in slower months to stay competitive.

They will match effort for effort jumping on seller calls and helping you close deals, walk you through contracts, make connections to attorneys, etc.
